Relationships

10 things you love about your husband??

I'm trying to find an anniversary card for my husband and chose one that you personalise. The theme is 10 things I love about you and you have to write your own things. Is it dreadful I couldn't think of more than 7? Can most people think of more than 7 things they love about their partners?
